I’m trying to do something like this and it doesn’t work, but I get no errors.

callback = function(){  
//bla bla bla  
}

another\_function(callback);

function another\_function(parameter:Function){  
an\_object.anEvent = parameter; //so that when this happens the callback function is triggered  
}

Is this supposed to work??

TIA
